Modern Style
I like the grey offset with red and the different shades of wood.
It’s the building of the summer tobogganing centre at the Peterberg in the Saarland.

Today it’s an arts and cultural centre used for music events and plays and the like but the building used to be the Wiesbaden abbattoir.

Municipal Indoor Swimming Pool in Mannheim
This is the front of the Herschelbad in Mannheim. Bernhard Herschel was a businessman and local councellor who donated 500,000 goldmarks in early the 20th century for the establishment of a public swimming bath that would carry his name. It took quite a while with planning and building and the baths were finally opened in 1920, 15 years after his death. There are three large pools, bath tubs, a Roman-Irish bath, a sun bathing section and even a pool for dogs.
A few of the various windows seen on the neo-baroque front.

Fifteen in a Row
I was fascinated by fifteen dormer windows in a row – they are on the roof of the main building of the Rüsselsheim Fortress , the broadside facing the river Main.

Two Houses, How Many Window Styles?
Both these houses are from Michelstadt im Odenwald. I was fascinated by the different kind of windows, all coming together to one style, sort of.
The contrast between the sandstone and the white front, the windows with the rounded top on the ground floor, mirrored in the second floor balcony door cum window. The grey and white half-timbered style on the top floor with the small oblang windows. The combination of both styles in the little tower cum bay windows.
And here is another house with typical architectural details of the area. The creme coloured shingles set off by the simple oblong windows, set off by grey and brown frames. The sandstone set-ins with grilles leading to the basement. The angular bay window jutting out and decorated with half-timbered details in dark wood.

School Windows
These are windows of the Feudenheimschule in a district of Mannheim. Many schools were built in the first twenty years of the last century, and it shows in the style. Also, in our area of the country sandstone is an often used building material. This particular school was finished in 1913.
The detail in the top left photo is part of the crest of Mannheim, a wolf’s hook – a tool used to catch wolves and foxes in former times.
